Funny, how it doesn't recognize who you voted for. Just says they got a ballot in your name. Also, since California is pretty much software heaven, they felt a need to outsource to Denver ? I dunno Bud, doesn't instill confidence in my book.HT SYSTEM-

As I said, I mailed the ballot Thursday on the way to the grocery store around 11 AM. Friday morning at 8 AM I received this email.
Friday afternoon I received the above email. If the Post Office is slow where you live then that is your problem.Lumin X1 file player, Westminster Labs interconnect cable

So, just out of curiosity.....if you don't see a problem with this. Why did you make this post? What was your point?
Personally, I'm calling Shenanigan's and if you are interested in the Brooklyn Bridge, it's for sale again. Just give me a jingle and I'll have my people contact your people...

Because it's a government agency -
The ballot never left the county. Anyone who tracks mail or packages would know that those rarely, if ever, spend more than 24 hours in the same county.
- Mailed Thursday morning, 11 a.m.
- Message received Friday morning that it had been received, and was on its way. 8 a.m.
- Message received Friday evening that it had been delivered. 7 p.m.
There’s nothing remotely nefarious in that timeline when it’s within the same county, and all that’s involved is scanning of the digital code on the outside of the ballot.
That would be the most efficient post office I've ever heard of. -

Wouldn’t Bud’s ballot have been collected by the PO and delivered to a central location within the same county?

👆 Don’t know where you live… 👆
…but any package or tracked mail I’ve ever followed never spends more than 24 hours in the same county, whether it’s UPS, FedEx, USPS or OnTrac, and we have both the biggest, and the most populous counties anywhere in the 🇺🇸.
Is that why there have been so many people complaining about slow shipping and delayed mail. You are telling me that the delivery companies and the US mail are the only businesses without delays at this time. -
I'm not saying it isn't possible, just doesn't happen around here in the last year or so.

My mom just had a similar situation. She mailed two payments on a Thursday, both going to local banks. On one, she got notification the next day that her payment had been received. On the other, it was over a week before the payment was received.

Not sure exactly how it works, but Kex makes sense. Only the forum morons are arguing against next day mail delivery in the same county.
Oh has the green light for name calling been turned on ?

Agree all mail collection in my city is trucked 45min southeast. It takes a day to sort and a day back then delivered the next day. Right now I have a piece of mail with a tracking number that was received at my local post office and it has been sitting there for 4 days, it's first class mail with a tracking number. It didn't use to be that way.
20yrs ago if I mailed a package to my son across town he would get it the next day. This is what happens with USPS "streamlined" the service for quicker turn around time. They streamlined it to a three day turn around. -
I work for the USPS. I have worked there for going on 27 years. I can verify how long it usually takes for items to be processed and delivered. We were give the leeway to delay 1st class mail for 3 days. I've seen letters taking as much as 7 days. The public has no clue what is going on here. No idea. The USPS is a suedo government agency. We are a cash cow. We lose money on paper. Every penny we make goes right to the treasury. There are a bunch of other issues that I can't get into online. There are still a bunch of dedicated people that work here. Unfortunately,most of them are just grunts like me. I will say this,GREED has destroyed this agency.See my profile for list of gear.

They ain’t so bad. I had a Blue Jeans Cable order shipped via Priority mail in a box on August 24 from Seattle arrived in Virginia on August 26.

Emlyn, you may wish to submit that for entry into the "Guineas Book of World Records" as that is most unusual.
Although, it should be noted that a lot of things are taking flight from Seattle as fast as possible. Same phenomenon has been observed in nearby Portland, Oregon.
Doubly so in California ! 😳Sal Palooza
